You know kids need family time even if you feel shitty. You can make it easy on yourself and help the kids feel special. Really if the kids feel special, they will be far better behaved making your life easier. To quote Charlie Sheen "winning". Here are some ideas.
1. Cooking. You will probably need to cook dinner so let them help. Small kids can open things, pour things, and stir things. Older kids can cut, mix and cook. The end result will hopefully be delicious.
2. Parks. Smaller kids will run off energy, you can relax offer encouragement maybe push the swing. Take older kids to the skate park. You can sit back and watch. They will love showing off. Don't forget helmets, pads and bubble wrap.
3. Family pictures. Just take them. Don't get dressed up, take them impromptu. Those are always the best. Everyone will look relaxed, and hopefully happy. With a little luck those will be great memories for the kids.
4. Read. Small kids love to be read to. It's not hard work for parents, in fact it's probably the easiest and most important family time you'll have.
You had these children, find time to help them be contributing members of society.
